Here's a double-post because I don't feel like killing a discussion. Here's an advice for y'all:
Whenever you have time for it, and feel like it, try sit down and write. Write the story of your own life, from your birth to where you are right now, including at least all the life-changing decisions and events you've been through. Focus on the change of your persona, the evolution of your character, throughout the years. It might take hours, it might take days or weeks. Then read it all.

I did it, and I'm sure you will not regret it. It's an eye-opener, which will re-teach you what you have already learned, but forgotten, and make you realize that your life is probably shaped by coincidences. I learned that I'm where I'm at now, because of the death of a classmate in second grade years back. If she had not died, I had not lived in this city, I would probably still be struggling with my self-esteem, etc o_O

I would argue with that. Your path might be written, but even then you dont know which way it goes. So from your point of view your life is always open for a change. Written destiny or not.

Edit: Oh - and by not working on it to make it better, you agree that your whole life story is lacking perfection and success.

I believe in destiny in the way that we all have a destiny, but I don't believe that the future for any of us is decided already. Maybe that means that I don't really believe in destiny, I'm not sure. I think of it somehow like in the Kaelicious universe, where vKael is in charge of destiny unfolding itself naturally. Yet his job is just to be there and write some titles in a sacred book, for he doesn't know what the actual content of the chapters will be, neither is there any answer to that before the text is actually there. Us mortals are capable of choosing our own destinies, but not without it being heavily influenced by our surroundings. Things can turn out hundreds of different ways, but eventually it will only turn out one way, and it is partially up for us to decide which way that way goes - if that makes any sense at all :b

Standing here
I realize
You are just like me
Trying to make history

But who’s to judge
The right from wrong
When our guard is down
I think we’ll both agree

That violence breeds violence
But in the end it has to be this way

I’ve carved my own path
You followed your wrath
But maybe we’re both the same

The world has turned
And so many have burned
But nobody is to blame

Yet staring across this barren wasted land
I feel new life will be born
Beneath the blood stained sand
Beneath the blood stained sand


I dont see how it tells you otherwise. Both of them craved their own path.
And it says they wanted the same thing, no wonder they ended up at the same place.

Which one? And how much? Only correcting typos or changing the whole plot - Should we read it again? :)

I just realized something about myself today, a trait I got from my mother - that I can move mountains if I am motivated, but if I fall behind in any project of mine, I immediately lose all motivation and get lazy and ends up falling even further behind. I have hundreds of examples with both the good and bad sides of this in my life. And fthe conclusion is that I either live my whole life as a lazy bastard at the bottom of society, or start pulling myself together doing all that damn homework and become ruler of the world. Yeah.

Right now, I'm not capable of doing anything productive - I'm stressed by all the school work that I have ignored, which is all coming back to me now, when I have no time at all. So I have to clear out that school thing first, and then I'll be able to move mountains again - at least I have planned out an October event! Finally something other than ordinary RP months ^^

Oh, BTW, remember that collaborative art project with all of our characters for the 2 year anniversary? Nobody edited it after Bern's edit, which is kind of sad, for it'd be so kewl to have it done by the time of the Halloween-event!
At least having some colors on it would be nice, it doesn't have to be as professionally looking as Bern's characters, but definitely better than my sketches :b

Laziness is religion.

1) Man is born tired. He lives to rest.
2) Love thy bed as thy self.
3) Thou shall rest during the day, during the night thou may sleep.
4) Thou shall not work, for work kills.
5) If thou see someone resting, thou shall help him.
6) Thou shall not do today what thou can do tomorrow.
7) Thou shall work less than what thou can, and that which thou can't do let someone else do it.
8) In shade is salvation, none has died yet from resting.
9) Work brings illness, thou should not die young.
10) If thou ever wish to work, sit and wait. It will pass thou.

Alright peeps, today was supposed to be a big day - the launch of the first ever OKTOBERFEST event in Kaelicious! I didn't got around to do it in time, due to an exceptionally long school-day, and (paying!) work to do in the evening. I haven't had the proper time, and recently I've been suffering from a lot of stress, after I've been taking up slightly more work that I could apparently handle.

However, I have the entire event planned out! And I will strive to make an introduction-post tonight. I have really looked forward to this, so I'll do what I can to not let you down. However, I can't promise it - and if I haven't made it by the time you see this post, and you feel like making an RP post, then please go ahead, but post it in last month's RP-thread :)

Oh, and what's the status of the art-project mr. Paillan? If you haven't done anything yet, and doesn't feel like doing it in the near future, then please say so, so that somebody else can do it. Let's be as productive as humanly possible! We have ONE MONTH left!! :b
Oh, and BTW, I'm planning to buy a charger for my old laptop, so that I don't have to borrow my mum's shitty laptop all the time. I actually have the money (due to my new job, yay!), and if I am successful in getting it this month, then I can help out too! ^^

The thing is, I found out recently, what makes us stressed, is that we are actually lazy. While we're not really working on anything, the bad conscience is constantly haunting the back of our heads, but we know we won't do anything about it.. because we're lazy.
Only solution is to pull our asses up from those sweet seats, and get to work! It doesn't help on our stress at first, but eventually it will, as we complete our tasks and get better conscience!
Otherwise, we gotta get help from those around us - and in this case, I think what you should do. Those sound like some serious symptoms - don't contribute to your stress with something like this man. Speak up! That always helps :)

Man, it's getting late.. and I'm getting emotional and loses my concentration and starts doing stupid stuff instead of what I actually should....

Nah I was always and will be always a mad person. I don't show a clinical condition thought because I grew up in an enviroment where I got penalizated every time I made something wrong. But I am aware that my mind is pretty fucked up. I am not that stupid to not know that I do need something for mental problems.

I would love to make a post - I have a perfect plan for my next one, but yeah.. one does not simply make a post when there is little time. I'm heading to my lady's apartment and will bring my computer with me, so maybe I'll get around to do it later today :)

as i read the RP posts from two weeks ago, i realized, what if Leprey got the body of dead Santa? They could have been so good together :D

Also, note on Juno; Juno is and was an ordinary cat. Kari's speaking device, and his good spirit made him special. Dawn on the other hand relates from a noble family, so she could be a cat-woman :)
